Kira Glastein: Table by window obviously. If there is no wait, the service is good. The blue crab and fried shrimp were excellent.
Jeana Costa: Blue Crab Roll (with Old Bay mayo) out of this world
Daniel McDonough: Grab a half dozen oysters, the blue crab roll, and a Blue Point Summer Ale. Great summer lunch.

Nilay Cetin: Loved it! We were seated at the ‘Sinatra’ table, a nook across the bar that is good for 3 people at most. Our waiter was very knowledgeable. I tried blue crab salad and trout, both very tasty.
Stina P.: amazing cocktail list, beautiful design, and inventive menu - make a reservation and enter through back of walter's - try the chicken thighs and caesar salad
Teddy: Everything was wonderful! Great cocktails, excellent+knowledgeable staff, and delicious food. 5 teddy bears. 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻

American Restaurant · Brooklyn Heights · 245 tips and reviews
Gloria Yuan: Cocktails, lamb belly, blue crab and burrata pasta, steak, bison burger, basically everything
Alex Rainert: You can't go wrong here. Favorite new spot. The steak, duck rillette crostini, deep fried brussell sprouts and bacon, pork belly and pickled radish and Cool Hand Cuke cocktail were all amazing. Do it.
karen bonna rainert: This restaurant was funded as a kickstarter project. I just love that. The food is also awesome.
Sarah: love this place! quiet, great service, interesting film to peek. recommend: summer rolls, "33" beer, spicy calamari entree (comes with rice). pork belly is only thing that hasn't been A+ for us here.
Village Voice: Lift the lid on the Clay Pot Catfish: supple hunks of white fish bathed in a subtly peppered broth and topped with carrots and scallions. Enjoy over a mound of freshly steamed rice.
Vivek Bhagwat: Get the shaking beef and Mama's sautéed ginger chicken and potato

Kev Skinny: Best sushi bay ridge. Get the rock shrimp tempura to start. Tare tare is also insane.
Tom Maxim: The "mob wives" eat here.
MissKris 🎀 1011: Used to be one of my favorite sushi places, but the past few times I've been here I've been seriously disappointed. The quality & portion size has seriously declined. Dish a few blocks away is better

Matt Burton: Tasting menu is the way to go. One of the best meals of my life. Can't miss the Barbacoa, bone marrow, and churros. Well done Xixa!
Rei Wang: Came to try the Foie Gras Al Pastor but was absolutely blown away by the Grilled Carrots Elote. Inventive and delicious.
Serious Eats: While the long menu is a little hit-or-miss, the good dishes on this loosely Mexican menu -- like the "fricco-dilla" and Thai esquites -- are superb. Wine and agave spirits to drink.
